Hardness Tester Vickers 1000

Hardness tester Vickers 1000 is ideal for testing the surface hardness of metallic surfaces quickly. In metallurgy, its very important to know the hardness of the materials being used and this device allows for the materials to be tested in the factory. The hardness tester brings together the parameters of Rockwell B & C, Vickers HV, Brinell HB, Shore HS and Leeb HL. Thanks to its portability, this hardness meter is very useful in production, quality control and technical service. Its compact design and rechargeable battery makes this a very easy device to use.

The Leeb measurement method was used for the first time in 1978. It is defined as the rebound velocity of the hammer divided by the impact velocity times 1000. The higher the value, the higher the hardness of the material being measured. For a specific group of materials, such as steel and aluminium, the Leeb hardness test establishes a direct relation to the materials hardness conditions.

This device includes the conversion curves for HL hardness and for other standard static hardnesses such as HB, HV and HRC with the possibility to convert Leeb into other values and display these. Therefore, this is a device for professionals to be used for shipping and receiving, production or research and development.
